Description
Tirso di Muggia has initiated collective dismissal procedures affecting 160 workers, primarily women over 55, while uncertainty continues regarding a potential acquisition. Trade unions were convened last Monday to begin discussions with Confindustria as employees await clarity on the prospective buyer's identity and intentions.
The workforce fears a repeat of the failed acquisition by Roncadin of Pordenone, which previously fell through, leaving their employment future in limbo. The demographic profile of affected workers, mostly women approaching retirement age, adds particular concern to the situation as alternative employment opportunities may be limited.
Despite ongoing uncertainty about the company's future, trade unions maintain workplace safety as a central priority in their demands. The collective dismissal procedures represent the latest development in what has become a prolonged period of instability for the Muggia facility.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
